It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye

Do you know train conductors get a 5% commission on tickets they sell? Not much on a local day return to Manchester, but enough to buy a beer for something like a sixty quid return to London.


So that's what they're called! It's the sort of present that you end up snatching away from small children so that you can have a go once the fifth glass of port kicks in.


looby - it took some googling to get from 'that thing, with the thing that went round, and sparks came out' to 'kinetic wheel' I can tell you!

Tim - I thought they got something for selling tickets. Other than 'paid' that is.
